Wood-fired paella burner
PA70 - 1 arm
Stainless steel tabletop
Do you know the rice that chefs love? Discover it here:
The PA70 is the tabletop version of the PA70C: the same wood-fired paella burner, designed with Edu Torres (Molino Roca), with one arm and its handwheel, but without a cabinet or castors. It sits on a stable, suitable surface.
The handwheel sets the height of the pan above the embers: a high heat for the sofrito (the aromatic base at the start of the recipe), a moderate heat for cooking the rice and a high heat again at the end for the socarrat (the thin, golden crust of rice on the base of the pan).
Dimensions: 716 × 790 × 735 mm (width × depth × height).
How many people does it serve?
For a 70 cm paella pan, the largest size. Takes pans from 10 to 70 cm. Approximate figures.
- Restaurant style 10-15 people Thin layer of rice A thin layer of rice (1 to 1.5 cm). The grains stay separate, with socarrat. It is the layer chefs recommend.
- 18-20 people Up to the rivets The rice reaches the rivets that hold the handles. A medium layer: keep a closer eye on the fire.
- Up to 30 people Full pan Rice almost up to the rim. It is the maximum, for events. The rice is creamier and socarrat is harder to achieve.
In restaurants, a thin layer is the norm: around 10 to 15 servings.

Which model do you need?
Choose by the number of paellas you want to cook at once and by location: on a stable surface, or on a cabinet with castors so you can move it.
Approximate figures for a 70 cm pan, depending on the amount of rice: thin layer (1 to 1.5 cm, as in restaurants), around 10-15 servings; up to the rivets of the handles, 18-20; full pan, up to 30.
The alternative to a gas paella burner on a tripod
For paella, most people use a gas paella burner on a tripod. The TopBrasa burner runs on wood and controls the heat with a handwheel.
Gas paella burner on a tripod
- The pan always stays at the same height
- Heat is set at the gas tap, without the smoky note of wood
- It has to be set up and taken down every time
Wood-fired paella burner
- Handwheel: raise or lower the pan without touching the fire
- Wood fire: cooking over wood adds a smoky note
- Firebrick lining: it holds the heat
- Always ready, in stainless steel, tabletop or on a cabinet with castors
A paella pan of up to 70 cm: around 10 to 15 servings in a thin layer, 18 to 20 up to the rivets, up to 30 when the pan is full.
